Paid to watch the Peep Show DVD
So I already had season 1 & 2 on DVD from when they came out, but then I saw the three season box set due to go on sale on Amazon. Region 0 it said, which for me was perfect - having just moved to the states I could use it in my UK laptop, and show it to people at their house (I'm good like this; forcing my limey comedies unto others)

So I ordered it, and it was region 2 - UK & Europe! Also, disc 3 wouldn't play in my laptop which was odd. I thought it must have been broken but checked it in my region free DVD player and it did so must have been some kind of data protection/anti-piracy device. Didn't tell them that bit, though.

Still, it said on Amazon it would be region 0, and region 0 I wanted! I called them up and was told it should in fact have been region 0 and they'll send me another one. "Do you want me to box this other one up and send it back?" "No", she said, "if it's broken you may as well throw it away". Well, series 1 & 2 worked so I thought I may as well keep it.

The new box set turns up and without even needing to take off the shrink wrap I can see it's the same as before so I call them up to complain "Oh I'm sorry about that, we'll give you a refund"

So I now have 2 three series box sets, for free! Flogged one on ebay as this was just before crimbo 2006 so in effect had the one box set and about 30 quid!

Length? 3 series of 6 episodes at 1/2 hour each - about 4.5 hours I reckon...

Same happened to me
except I paid to watch a peep show. Some fat bird was flashing her knockers, and didn't get my £30 quid back even though one of them was broken.

You said Crimbo.
You must kill yourself.

Freebie
If you're in the States then you can get Peep Show (seasons 1 to 6) on Hulu (www.hulu.com) for free... A little bit of civilisation for us expats!
